Jordan 's accession to the World Trade Agreement, its political and economic stability, modern laws, strong and independent legal system, democratic process and private sector led economy opened the door to the signing of the Free Trade Agreement with the United States of America that came into force in January 2001. This agreement gradually lifts tariffs on goods and services between the two countries over a ten year period by the year 2010. Products listed in category A such as home appliances can reach US consumers with no tariffs imposed. It is important to note that Jordan is the fourth country to sign such an agreement with the United States after Israel , Canada and Mexico and is considered recognition of Jordan 's notable achievements in its political, economic and fiscal reforms. Another important agreement with the United States is the Qualifying Industrial Zones (QIZ).
